As justification, I keep reading, “The lesser of two evils is still evil.”
Yeah, but it’s also LESSER.
No human institution is absolutely good.
Therefore, all we will will ever have to choose among are varying degrees of evil. Being willing to accept the least evil alternative as the best that can be achieved is a sign of maturity.
We also need to recognize that others often sincerely view as evil what we view as good. Forcing them to submit unqualifedly to our definition is itself an evil thing to do.
Maybe. But it also MORE Evil than we had previously. It is still one more stab wound instead of the stitches we asked for.
How about we stop it with the liberal RINO's and... you know... maybe actually STAND UP for conservative principles for a change? Before your RINO heroes sell out our Country altogether with another Shamnesty bill would be nice...
Sometimes the lesser evil is one we'll put up with, and thus it perpetuates.
Sometimes the greater evil motivates people to do something about it, ending it sooner.
"All evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing." What, then, of evil which is just 'lesser' enough that good men won't bother with it?
